Experiencing Musical Time

How does music shape our experience of time? Experiencing Musical Time offers new answers to this question by connecting research on time perception in psychology with ideas from music theory and musicology. Covering extremes from experiences of timelessness in minimalism and Electronic Dance Music to the subtle feeling of momentum and vivacity in the rhythms of a jazz solo, author Kristina Knowles explains how variations in musical structures influence our experience of time. Presenting a unique fusion of perspectives, Experiencing Musical Time will be insightful for readers in music theory, musicology, music cognition, and cognitive science.
